Painting: “It's an argument and a love affair, putting paint on canvas”, says Congdon Hanson. Determined that each painting must be experienced in “real time” she paints only on site and never from photographs. “Painting is an artistic interpretation, not a depiction of reality. In order to capture the essence of a place, I believe you must experience that place completely. It must go through you.”
